A hearing officer has recommended that the Kentucky Horse Racing Commission overturn trainer Richard Dutrow’s 15-day suspension for an alleged clenbuterol violation on May 2 at Churchill Downs.

Hearing officer James Robke said the violation should be overturned because the concentration of clenbuterol in Salute the Count after a second-place finish in the Aegon Turf Sprint Stakes (G3) was measured in picogams per milliliter of plasma, not picograms per milliliter of serum, as specified in commission regulations.

Lisa Underwood, the commission’s executive director, indicated that her staff would challenge Robke’s recommendation. The commission will address the matter on October 27, spokesman Jim Carroll said.
